Sundays with Hope
Are you curious about faith? Looking for a church to call home?
We’d love to meet you.
If you’d like to chat beforehand, either virtually or in person, just let us know.
Sunday Service
(1st and 3rd sundays)
We gather on these Sundays to worship and encounter God through stories, an inspirational talk from the bible, and a time of music and creativity.
(This is in person at Templars Square: Unit 4, The Square, OX4 3XD)
Refreshments from 10:00am (10:30 start) – Downstairs
Coffee and light snacks available from 10am. At 10:30am, the service starts and after updates and reflections on recent events, there’s a talk. It’s purpose is to bring life from the Bible, share experiences, and apply the teachings of Jesus to our everyday lives.
Following the talk, we have a time of worship together, led by musicians and other creatives, and we make space for those that want to receive personal prayer at the end.
Hope Kids (children + carer/s) – Upstairs
Children (age 5-11) get the chance to engage with stories and a whole range of activities and games centered around an inspiring Bible theme.
We’d suggest booking kids in by 10:15am, and depending on numbers, we may ask one of their parents/carers to accompany their children. (Unfortunately our current venue requires kids/carers to be able to get upstairs, and there is no disabled access)
Sunday Breakfast at 10am
(2ND and 4th sundays)
(This is in person at Templars Square: Unit 4, The Square, OX4 3XD)
At 10 am breakfast is served.
At 10.45am, we have a break out time introducing the theme for the morning. There are crafts and games for children under the age of 11 along with their parents/guardians to explore God’s big story for the world and our lives. The rest of their adults continue conversations on this theme on tables and we learn from each other’s life experience.
Everyone is welcome at the table.
The invitation is open to anyone, whatever your perspective on God and faith. You’re welcome.
It’s a great way to find out more about Hope Oxford, be encouraged and for those interested, to explore how to get involved in the community projects we run.
We might be small but we are passionate about young people and engaging them in exploring and practicing the way Jesus lived. In 2020 we started a new gathering for young people, year 6 to 9, and there is potential for older youth to be able to help out. We want to create a safe place where questions about God and life are encouraged. There’ll also be lots of fun (as that’s important!) and we want to engage young people in shaping these gatherings and making them a highlight, something they’d want to invite their friends to.
If you, like us, love young people we’d love to hear from you as we look to develop a team. (Text 07971828408 or complete the ‘make a difference’ form)
